and retrieve login and other usage information for every user of our system.

3.1

What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small text files that are stored by your web browser on your
computer's hard drive. They allow the Websites to store such things as user
preferences. The Websites use both session cookies and persistent cookies.
Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically
erased) when you close your browser. Persistent cookies usually have an
expiration date far into the future and thus stay in your browser until
they expire, or until you delete them.

3.2

What are the cookies used for?

Cookies are useful because they help make your Website experience more
enjoyable. They allow us to recognise your device (e.g. your laptop or
mobile device) so that your experience of our Websites can be tailored
to your device. Cookies do not typically identify you as an individual,
just the device you are using. We use cookies to save information such
as passwords and preferences so you don’t have to re-enter it each time
you visit our Website, to deliver content tailored to your interests and
to optimise the performance of our Website. The information connected with
the cookie can also be visitors' preferences and to record session information,
such as pages visited, interactions with website features, time spent on our
Website and language preference.

3.3

you do not agree to the use of these cookies please disable them by following
the instructions for your browser set out here: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ or use the automated

3.4

What type of cookies does Wacom use?

Below we have provided a list of the categories of cookies used on our
Websites, and a description of what these cookies do. Some of these cookies
are essential to the operation of our Services. Others are not essential,
but help us to improve our Website by collecting anonymous user information,
or try and improve your experience of our Website by remembering your choices.

We use the following types of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies – which enable Services you have
specifically asked for

We use certain cookies which are essential to the operation of our Websites.
For example, these types of cookies enable you to log into secure areas of
our Websites, provide the necessary security your visit to our Websites
requires, and help ensure the content of the pages you request load quickly.
Without these cookies, Services that you have asked for cannot be provided
as required.

We want you to understand these essential cookies, and why we use them,
but we don't need to get your consent to use them on our Websites as we
use these cookies only to provide you with Services that you have requested.

These cookies allow our Websites to remember choices you make, such as,
remembering your preferred language, the type of device you are using,
the region you are in and the respective currency and your username or ID
of insite commercial Websites (i.e. when purchasing a certain product or
service over one of the Websites). The aim of these cookies is to provide
you with a more personal experience so that you don't have to reset your
preferences each time you visit us.

As described below, you may disable any of these functional cookies; but
if you do so, then various functions of our Websites may be unavailable
to you or may not work the way you want them to.

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Websites,
for example, which pages our visitors go to most often, and if they get
error messages on those pages. These performance cookies don't collect
information that identifies you as an individual – all information they
collect is aggregated and anonymous / pseudonymous. The information
gathered is only used to improve how our Websites work.

In particular, our Websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics
service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). The information generated
by the Google Analytics cookie about your use of the Website is generally
transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. In
case of activation of IP anonymization on our Website, Google will,
however, truncate your IP address beforehand within the European Union
or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only
in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google
server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of Wacom,
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use
of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity and providing us
with other services relating to Website and internet use. The IP address
transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will
not be associated with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the
use of the Google Analytics cookie by selecting the appropriate settings
in your browser; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be
able to use the full functionality of the Website. Furthermore, you can
prevent Google’s collection and use of data generated by the cookie and
related to your use of the Website (including your IP address) by
downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at
(
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en). Google Analytics
has been supplemented by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" in order to
ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses ("IP masking").

Our Websites also use Crazyegg, an analytics service provided by Crazy
Egg, Inc. ("CrazyEgg") that helps improve websites by tracking how users
interact and engage. Usage information is stored by Crazyegg and is
subject to their privacy policy. You can view their privacy policy at

Furthermore, you can prevent Segment.io’s collection and use of data
generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website by
selecting the appropriate settings in your browser.

On our Websites, we might use remarketing cookies of certain display
advertising service providers. These serve the purpose of displaying
advertisements to those users of third party websites which have previously
visited one of our Websites. For this purpose, we collect the information
that a certain user has visited specific sites of our Websites. This
information will be linked to a Cookie – a text file which is placed on
your device by the display advertising service provider. When you visit
other websites, specific advertisements regarding our offers may be
displayed to you based on your past visit to our Websites.

Wacom does not sell, rent, or share personal data to or with any third

personal information to be used for the purposes of sending you unsolicited
commercial offers (such as spam) from any third party.

Sharing of your personal data for business reasons

We may communicate personal data to third parties as far as required
for the arrangement or performance of agreements with you, i.e. when you
purchase products or services via our Websites. Possible recipients might
be independent software vendors from which you purchase a license or a
software service via our Website.

Moreover, we may use third party service providers to offer or facilitate
services on our behalf, such as an identity management provider, a payment
service provider or an analytics service provider which act as data
processors and therefore handle the data on our behalf. Any sharing of
your personal data with such third party service providers will be made
in accordance with all applicable data protection laws and will be limited
to the extent necessary. These third parties are prohibited from using
your personal data for their own commercial, promotional or any other
purposes than those explicitly instructed for and they have to follow
our express instructions and comply with appropriate security measures
to protect your personal data. In particular, we will use service providers
located in the United States of America to provide analytics services and
identity management services.

Sharing of your personal data as required by law

We will disclose personal information when required by law to comply
with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served
on us, or as otherwise required by any applicable law, rule or regulation;

Sharing of your personal data during business transitions

In the event Wacom goes through a business transition, such as a merger,
acquisition by another company, or sale of a portion of its assets, and
our customers' personal information may be part of the assets transferred,
customers will be notified via prominent notice on our Website. If, as a
result of the business transition, your personal data will be used in a
manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection,
you will be notified and – if required by applicable law – asked to provide
consent.
